While the list has some items that are actually fairly well-known (like that Chilltowners can go to the Landmark Loew's Jersey Theatre movie palace to see classic films or to the Liberty Science Center's IMAX dome to see new movies), it also has some gems many JC natives may not even know.

For example, commissioner Lawrence Whipple banned rock 'n' roll in Jersey City in the 1950s. Also, JC is the oldest town in New Jersey, developing around Bergen Square in 1660, Movoto says.

The article also gives shout-outs to tons of famous Jersey City residents, current and former, like Shaquille O'Neal (Shaq split his time between JC and Newark), Frank Sinatra, Kool and the Gang, Akon, Martha Stewart and more.
